He is expected to miss 1 to 3 days, with hopes of rejoining the Dodgers by the end of their series against the Texas Rangers. To fill his spot, the Dodgers have selected Eddie Rosario's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has performed well this season. This marks the first instance this season for a Dodgers player going on paternity leave.
